    I have left a comment on Your Say on the local paper. I have also contacted Mr Brown, sent him a link to this thread and said many clever and selfless people are rallying round to help MOT but I thought he would like to rally round too.
    Hope all this works!!

    But good to see Dacorum have correctly followed procedure on at least one issue:
    http://www.hemeltoday.co.uk/news/Council-charges-OAP-after-taking.3530789.jp

    If this article is typical of the 'jobsworth' attitude that Dacorum appear to have adopted towards the running of their council, then there can be little hope for mot.

    I sincerely hope that they are exposed, nationally, for the disaster that they are.

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

  • I've just rung the newspaper - the 'Your Say' part hasn't been updated yet because they're "working on publishing The Herald at the moment, & that takes priority". The woman said that it should be updated for late today or tomorrow morning, but thanked me for responding to the article.
